Soi by Nick is an Asian brunch cafe in Penuin Batam that feels like a real find. It sits in Penuin. It is a short trip from Harbour Bay Ferry Terminal<\/a>. Finding it is part of the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cafe is run by Chef Nick. He placed in the Top 3 of MasterChef Indonesia Season 11. Soi by Nick calls itself an Asian Brunch, Dessert, and Drinks cafe. The menu mixes sweet and savoury dishes. Many of them use Thai tea as the star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name says a lot. \u201cSoi\u201d is a Thai word for a small alley. The cafe sits at the end of a gang in Penuin. The name fits the location well. The space is simple and intimate. It has a \u201cdiscovered spot\u201d feel. You walk in and feel like you found something that not everyone knows about. It is a good place to slow down after exploring Penuin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Asian Brunch Cafe in Batam for Any Time of Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cafe opens at 9 AM. That makes it easy to start your day here. You can have brunch first. Then stay for dessert and a drink. It stays open until 9 PM. So you can also come back later for a sweet stop after dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mix is what makes the menu fun to explore. You can go savoury. You can go sweet. Or you can do both in one visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Start With the Thai Tea Bingsu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Thai<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We began with dessert. The Thai Tea Bingsu is a bowl of very fine shaved ice. It melts easily. The Thai tea flavour is quite strong. Ice cream and cookie crumbs sit on top for extra texture. It is a refreshing choice on a hot Batam afternoon. It also works well for sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Br\u00fbl\u00e9e Cheesecake With a Crunchy Top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n

\"Br\u00fbl\u00e9e<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next came the Br\u00fbl\u00e9e Cheesecake. The cheesecake is creamy. The top is caramelised and adds a light crunch. It is rich but not too sweet. If you do not like very sugary desserts this one is a safe pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thai Tea French Toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Thai<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thai Tea French Toast was another highlight. The bread is soft and fluffy. It does not turn soggy. It comes with two Thai tea sauces and vanilla ice cream on top. The sauces and ice cream give you a warm and cold mix in every bite. Order it if you love Thai tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Soi Curry Croissant for Something Savoury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Soi<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For something savoury, go for the Soi Curry Croissant. The croissant is buttery. It is filled with scrambled eggs and shredded chicken. There are vegetables inside too. The curry sauce has a warm spice and a creamy texture. It is a rich dish and a good one to try before dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3D Cappuccino and Matcha Latte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"3D<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For drinks we tried two. The 3D Cappuccino is one of the signature drinks. It comes with a 3D kitten latte art on top. The coffee is smooth and light. It is easy to drink. It is also a fun one to photograph before the first sip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ajisai 2.0 Matcha Latte is creamy with a light nutty taste. The finish is smooth. The matcha is not too bitter. Matcha fans will enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
